Re: [Elecraft] Scratches
Gang, The stuff you are referring to is used a lot by RVers to keep stuff from moving about. One caution, if you leave it in contact with painted items for a long time, it will leave marks that may be difficult to remove. If we are talking about the same stuff, it is much cheaper at the various Dollar discount stores.

Re: [Elecraft] Scratches
3M makes some small adhesive-backed feet that can often be found in the cabinet hardware section of a home improvement center like Home Depot or Lowes. A similar product is smaller felt pads that attach to cabinet doors to keep them from banging when closing.
